crush biscuits into fine crumbs & tip into bowl. Melt the butter and syrup, then mix evenly into the crumbs. Tip crumb mixture into 20cm/8" loose bottomed flan tin, then use the back of a metal spoon to press evenly over the base and sides (though I only do the base). Chill until ready to use.
beat together the mascarpone, cream and sugar together (I beat the cream on its own until thickened a bit before adding to mascarpone, etc), then gradually beat in the lemon juice. Slice the bananas fairly thinly and stir into the filling. Spoon into the case and spread evenly. Coarsely grate both the chocolates and sprinkle over the pie. Chill for at least 1 hour before cutting. (The longer you chill, the easier it is to cut.) Keep refrigerated.

Introduction
This is a gorgeously rich and indulgent dessert that needs no baking, although it does need to be eaten within a couple of days. Very easy to make!
